I think that normies exist but they are defined by a lack of risk taking (including cognitive risks) rather than a lack of self awareness. A failed normie is someone who doesn't take risks but for some reason still fails.

This is wrong, A normie is anyone who lives within societies standards.

And risk taking means challenging societal norms

Care to define what exactly societal norms would entails outside of.
1. Having a significant other and have had intimacy at least once
2. Having any meaningful occupation or other obligation that would contribute to either the betterment of society in even the slightest way, or yourself.
3. Being able to maintain any sort of relationship or contact with others.

Besides, Risk itself is a very normal part of not only human nature, but society itself. I think what you're trying to say is "A normie is anyone seemingly without any flaw that would keep them from functioning within society"
 
My definition of "normie" is someone who is able to function socially. I would fit this description as with most people on this site.

Those three must be failed for a wizard but there are several types of non normies that would differ from normies in other ways. Wizards are only failed normies because they at some level want to be normies and their reaction to their failure is the very socially acceptable reaction of shutting themselves off from society and thus not hurting anyone. Loveshies and Sluthaters on the other hand do not isolate themselves from society but rather have a reaction of attempting to take what they want from society and thus they are clearly not failed normies but still fail at the risks they take. I would likewise not consider ISIS members or "Syrian Refugees" to be normies because although they are having some degree of success in conquering society they are still rebelling against societal norms in a way similar to loveshies. If there was a supreme deviant who managed to attain complete success in their rebellion they would appear to perfectly be a normie since they would construct that image to appeal to the normie masses
 
"Sheeple" and "normie" are totally separate concepts.

"Normie" is a derogatory term for, guess what, normal people. It is pretty much only used by teenage "smarter-und/oder-edgier-than-thou" groups who somehow think being normal is bad in itself. If you're above the age of 16 and still use this term, your parents need to spank you back to normal.

"Sheeple" are people who unthinkingly follow trends. "Sheeples" are not necessarily "normies" because the trend they follow may be fringe and thus abnormal (like trannyism).

Sheeple is usually an attempt to paint oneself as more informed, cultured, or whatever without having to justify it. It is usually special-snowflake-ism.

"Normie", as in the informal form of normalfag, is a real concept that can be demonstrated. It is people who engage in social life, are sexually active (without using prostitutes), have jobs, etc. Normies and whatever you call the opposite--"neckbeard", "austist", "robot", "NEET"--are discrete groups. A venn diagram would show no overlap between them. The borders are sealed too. No crossing the lines. "Failed normie" is a special snowflake who wants to get sympathy from other normies: ">tfw no fuck for almost 2 day".

Pretty much. Whenever I see the term Sheeple used, it's referring to the masses and is a sign of a lack of societal and emotional maturity by the user. They inevitably all seem to think of themselves as the original, the one and only.

Probably the closest thing to a sheeple would be people who get their world view from tabloids and Fox news and such.
 
Every teenager thinks they're unique and special and everyone else is a mindless sherson. And every other teenager thinks the same about them. And then you get a bit older and you realise that actually, there's nothing wrong with liking popular things, and there's a good reason why people choose being stable and comfortable over being a miserable emo twat.
